ASTORIA MUSIC NOW!: THANK YOU!

We are thrilled to say that Astoria Music & Arts' Second Annual ASTORIA MUSIC NOW! Festival in Astoria Park was a great success! THANK YOU to EVERYONE who came to hang out with us on a long, sunny day of amazing music, art, food, & dancing in Astoria Park. Thanks especially to our dedicated volunteers, stagehands, production crew, venue sponsors (Hell Gate Social, The Quays & Lucky Mojo), Wonderland Collective, Arrow Community Garden, our vendors, artists, DJs, performers, bands, and musicians, and of course to Astoria Park, Partnership for Parks, City Parks Foundation, and Queens Council on the Arts. We could NOT have made this possible without you. Thank you also to the websites that posted about the event, before or after! Please stay updated with AM&A - visit this site for updates on our upcoming events, performance opportunities, and ways to get involved. We have also just updated the site with a MAILING LIST page - click HERE or check the left-hand side of the page to sign up with your email address so we can keep you updated directly. The Second Annual Astoria Music Now! Fest is done for this year, but that doesn't mean the need for strong support of local music & arts is over, and that doesn't mean we're finished with events for 2009 - there is more to come! In addition, AM&A is ALWAYS looking for new musicians, artists, vendors, and volunteers to collaborate with on future events. Drop us a line by leaving a comment or email us at astoriamusicarts@gmail.com. Watch this space for links to photos from the AMN! fest & let us know if you have any photos of your own!
